The original NIGHTWING art team of Scott McDaniel and Karl Story join "No Man's Land" writer Larry Hama for stories emphasizing high adventure in the streets of the new Gotham City. With a focus on high adventure and battles with new and classic foes, BATMAN #575 (with a cover by McDaniel) finds a flag-wearing terrorist called The Banner taking aim at Gotham's newly restored status as part of the U.S.A., putting the city under siege in his extreme fight against the Federal Government. Batman and the F.B.I. stand together to stop him, but can Gotham survive such a fierce battle when the paint's barely dry?
